I started travelling to Japan 10 years ago, eager to improve my karate and also to experience the Japanese culture and tradition.

Over the years many people asked me: “is it really necessary to travel to Japan?”

My response was the typical Microsoft answer to any question: “It depends.”

It depends if you are someone who searches beyond the obvious, appreciate the fine details most people cannot see, enjoy learning something new every day and also want to experience a culture of kindness and respect .

I am attaching a few pictures to let you decide for yourself.
